I would rewrite this as

"where "number of packets discarded" is filled with the number of 
packets discarded due to both early and late arrivalwhich is obtained 
from the RTCP XRDiscard Block [DISCARD], and Packets Expected is 
calculatedas the difference between "extended last sequence number" and 
"extendedfirst sequence number" (Interval or Cumulative) provided in 
theMeasurement Information block [MEASIDENT]."

But even so, it would imply that two instances of the RTCP XR Discard 
Block are required, since a single Discard block can only report 
discards due to either early or late arrival, not both. Is that your 
intent? If so, then I would suggest making it explicit; if not, the 
maybe just leave the text as it is.

On a different topic (but somewhat related), should the references to 
draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-discard and 
draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-meas-identity be normative? It seems to me 
that it would be impossible to fully understand this draft w/o 
understanding them, too.
